In illustrating the spirit of his vibrant surroundings, Ernest Hemmingway once described the “mad, whirling carnival” he saw around him in Spain. As an American studying at Madrid’s IE Business School I will be documenting my experience with this blog, dedicated to that theme.


For friends and family, you can find frequent updates on my life and adventures by checking back here regularly. For anyone else, I hope you find my posts on business school and life in Spain interesting.

A few pictures from the Canary Islands


















Top of De Tiede volcano on Gran Canary


















The island goes from mountains to sea just like that


















Having your head in the clouds is not such a bad thing after all - maybe having your head above them is just a bit better


















The last bit of snow remains on the north face of the volcano even now in June. Impressive since this island sits at the same latitude as Orlando or Houston


















A moonscape where a cable car will take you out of this world








































Thanks to a b-school friend we stayed at a 5 star resort on the south end of the island, Dream Hotel Gran Tacande - not a bad place at all (Carlos, thanks bud!)


















A beach transformed into a forest of cairns (stacked stones)
